Having the want to serve

This afternoon, my boys came begging to have a lemonade stand. Seeing as how we had zero lemons in the house, and I had zero desire to drive and buy the aforementioned lemons, that business idea fell flat on its lemony face.

Next they wanted to have a bakery.

Tragically, it was a half hour before dinner time. And since I am a complete OCD freak an organized household coordinator, I nipped that one in the bud, too.

You know.

Seeing as how treats take at least a half hour to bake, another half to cool, and a third half for me to stop eating them long enough for the kids to sell them to the maybe one person who would be wandering our street at that hour. Our neighborhood? Del Boca Vista. Everyone is sound asleep in bed around here by five o'clock.

Hearts heavy, and all the business acumen nearly drained from their souls, they thought of a third potential business venture.

Internet, I give you the Fall & Leaves Co. Which is apparently very strong in religious acts.

Interesting question to ponder (aside from how one goes about becoming very strong in religious acts) is exactly where the business plans to acquire two leaf blowers, a dozen rakes, and hundreds of leaf bags. Because I'm pretty sure that I own none of those things.

Seeing as how our neighborhood does most of our lawn care for us and all.

I don't need lawn care because I have my own indentured servants...er...I mean strapping young sons to do that for me...but I am very interested in learning the art of becoming very strong in religious acts. I would be glad to pay top price for a set of instructuonal DVDs produced by and starring your children.

Way to go cuzzins!!! I want to hire you. Do you travel? How much do you charge to weed flower beds? I will even let you use my weed blower and rake. Tell your mom you can get lots of jobs out west. Christie-maybe they can call themselves the "Sunshine lawn cleaners" (shameless Seinfeld plug).
